Born in San Francisco, Calif., Rosenshine became known as a sculptor and was involved with the artistic circle of Gertrude
Stein, to whom she introduced Alice B. Toklas. Following the 1906 earthquake and fire, Rosenshine traveled to Paris with Michael
and Sarah Stein. She studied art in Paris, was a student in Matisse's first art class, and returned to San Francisco in 1908.
In 1918, she underwent psychoanalysis in Baltimore, then traveled to Zurich in 1920 to study under Carl Jung, during which
time she began creating psychoanalytic sculptures. In 1925, Rosenshine moved to N.Y. to pursue her artistic career, and settled
in Berkeley, Calif. in 1951.
